You need a PTC already. I know one guy who works there and he said they really only take retired officer (NYPD, State Police).

Really...Where in that yellow highlighted are does it specifically state that a PTC cert is required? I did not see the letters PTC once in that whole article?So being a Class 2 with a year to 3 on does not give you knowledge or experience?

to be a rairoad cop in NJ you need a little over 400 or so hrs of academy training so I think Class-II is ok, my Class-II was 640 hrs and it was good enough for NYS&W railroad I just turned them down for something else a couple of yrs ago but I know a few guys that went there from the Essex Deputy Program which is a Class-II cert. You will however need to get commissioned by the NJ State Police which is no easy task, it is like a huge background investigation basically.Good Luck !!!

I talked to an HR lady in Jacksonville. If you are not already academy certified you must have a bachlor's degree. They are also taking applications internally for those intrested in getting a trainee slot.
